Prospective observational study describes CSE clinical profile and short-term outcomes in children, highlighting treatment importance.

Key Points

The study aims to describe the clinical profile and etiological spectrum of convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) in children and identify factors affecting short-term outcomes at discharge.
Included 100 children aged 1 month–12 years admitted with CSE to a pediatric intensive care unit.
Clinical details, neuroimaging, cerebrospinal fluid examination, and electroencephalography were recorded as needed.
Outcomes at discharge were classified as complete recovery, neurological deficit, or death.
At discharge, 78% of children recovered completely, 16% had a neurological deficit, and 6% died.
Unfavorable outcomes were linked to delayed treatment, seizure type, recurrent seizures after admission, and lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores.
Acute symptomatic etiology was the most frequent cause, followed by febrile status and remote symptomatic causes.
